The Creative Brew

This episode we have military vet now turned artist Kaleb Knowles, based in the Chattanooga, TN. Area. He combines color, emotional depth with nature to create pieces that his audience clamors for. But it didn't start out like this at all, matter of fact this self-trained artist just started with art therapy classes offered by the military that jumpstarted his love for art and to where he is now. A great conversation on being courageous enough to learn something new and see where the quest takes you. I would love if you ranked this podcast, share a comment or share this episode out!

This episode is inspired by my niece and nephew. To aspiring and young creators. As much as I continue to show them, I'm relearning just as much from them. Observing how they each perceive the world, how they create, how they formulate ideas. Not really caring about the end result, just being in the space to be immersed in the process of creating. Having the space to play and experiment within the capacity I have is something I encourage others to exercise in their creative practices.

The context of this episode was taken from a recent watching of Bob Ross: The Joy of Painting. Even after his passing he's still sharing nuggets of wisdom. While he was painting one of his incredible landscapes he alluded to “work with the materials that you got.” Use the canvas, paints, brushes, tools-everything around you to produce your work.

On this Out of Bounds episode I chat with Derek Caldwell the founder/commissioner of Championship Wrestling Association, The Championship Wrestling Association is the premier professional folkstyle wrestling league in North America. We are creating opportunity for the American people to watch their favorite college wrestlers, in a style that is familiar to them. See wrestlers from your favorite college teams compete in a nine minute (3,3,3; yes you read that right), CWA folkstyle match. We are building something so that the best college wrestlers have the opportunity to compete professionally regardless of whether they are on the World/Olympic team or not. Often times, we have great American wrestlers who do not make a World team and we as fans lose sight of what they are doing on the mat because their story goes by the wayside. With the CWA, we look to keep their stories alive and well in the eyes of the American wrestling fan by giving them the opportunity to compete and be compensated while doing so. We talk about pulling from other sports, to create a unique event experience, using resourcefulness, and what he would do if he had the full power of USA Wrestling. Check this episode out today.

We sit with Omar and Luis, two creative masterminds behind Cosmic Bloom Coffee, creating one of a kind coffee experiences out of a little artsy shop in Vista, Ca. Cosmic Bloom began early 2023 with friends who had worked in specialty coffee, grew up in North County San Diego with a drive to push the limits in flavor. Their journey has brought them from serving coffee to our local Vista community to delivering coffee across the US. Growing up in the skate, music and art community, their brand is a representation of our lifestyles all thrown together. The space exploration represents our search for truly exceptional coffee. Our philosophy each day is to express ourselves and encourage others to while heavily caffeinated. We live to set the vibes for others because you cannot replicate or purchase authenticity. They let me try out some of their coffee, which was incredible. They share the concept of putting out bad ideas first when conceiving ideas. Also being authentic in everything they do is part of their ethos. They give us some creative tips and words of wisdom as well.

On this episode we are talking about your alter ego and who you represent could help you get to the next level in your creative quest. Black Mamba, Sasha Fierce (Beyonce), The Rock, Adele. These names are synonymous with various attributes, qualities, demeanor, strengths, and resilience. And what you believe to be true has incredible effects on your mind and your body. The Batman Effect refers to the finding that children perform better on a challenging task if they pretend to be someone else, such as Batman, who would be good at the task. One of my favorite movies that I refer to often is The Dark Knight rises, the villain Bane talks to Federal agents before he proceeds to kill them, telling them know one knew who he was before he put on the mask. We put on our personas everyday when we wake up ready to show up in the world. If you had an alter ego who would it be? How would that persona show up? What are the morals, values, etc. that your alter ego would have? What would it represent? What are your non-negotiables in your alter ego's life? Did you consider that how we perceive ourselves internally has such a profound experience on our outer expression. And to add this to the mix there odds are you have already used your alter ego in someway in your life-through tough times as well as times you didn't think you were enough, but you showed up.

This episode was from a conversation with the owner of Sands Coffee Roasters, a new coffeeshop in Oceanside. As we were chatting he was telling me the story of how his make shift coffee trailer came to be. A labor of love, he showed me all the edges where he put things together, he didn't say it was perfect, but there was an inner beauty in the imperfections. When he shared that to me I knew I had my next episode. This also goes back to the philosophy of kintsugi or learning how to mend broken pieces of pottery or other items back together using powdered gold, silver or platinum. It shows the story of the object rather than hiding its imperfections. Annoucements: My good friend Jarrod Dunn founder of the T.A.P.

This episode the context of this topic is based from a talk that Coach Timmy Box, the head coach at Palomar College and the US National Beach Wrestling coach gave after a practice, along with some insights from watching the Olympic Games and seeing the array of world-level talent on display for everyone to witness. Many times we find ourselves comparing our circumstances to others. We all have our mountains to climb. Some get to the top faster than others, if you can stay consistent, resilient, creative and keep the dream alive you will get to your apex. When you get there take it all in, because sooner or later you will have to go back down to the valley to pursue an even bigger mountain. I gave some quick shoutouts to the Covet Art Gallery in Oceanside, Ca. they have an exhibit this weekend with a few pieces of my artwork on display and other amazing artists in the gallery space for people to connect and purchase a piece of art.

On this episode we bring on Jarrod Dunn, an entrepreneur and founder of the TAP (Transitional Accountability Program) House, a program working with inmates looking to get themselves in an environment that teaches skills, shelter and resources, allowing them to enter back into society with a better foundation. This program sits close to the chest with him being a former inmate and addict, and he knows that if he had a program like this when he was released, he knows he would've been in a better situation. Being the creator he is, he saw a gap in an area of need and decided to build something around that. We talk about environment, and why it's crucial for everyone, the challenges of building a program like this, creative tips and words of wisdom. He also has a weekly show called Solutions that airs in his hometown as well.

On this episode I share a story from my recent travels on the east coast. I usually have the opportunity to do wrestling clinics while I'm back in my hometown of Cleveland, TN. At the end of the clinic we did some team relays, but the results of it turned into the context of this new episode. It's not how you start, it's how you finish. When things get rough from time to time, feeling anxious, nervous about the future or an opportunity, or maybe not having the best of days, what do you get anchored back into to help you get grounded, to get clear, and reset your energy? This anchor can be an activity, a place or people. These mainstays help you stay the course when those storms come. Also I gave some quick shoutouts to the Art House Project based in South Cleveland, TN. A new creative hub, for galleries, studios, performances, events you name it. Want to rent their space for your event reach out to Hetzel Art Studios at IG @arthouseproject My good friend Jarrod Dunn founder of the T.A.P. House, helping people that's been recently released from jail, building them back up to become productive people in society. This program is building fast with future plans of housing up to 20 people. You can help support this great initiative, through corporate or personal donations to the T.A.P House. You can connect with him on FB at Jarrod Dunn or IG @ jarrod_dunn_1111 First Bloom is a local coffeeshop in the blossoming coffee vibe in Cleveland, TN. Nestled near the Art House Project it's a modern coffeeshop with a rustic appeal. With a great assortment of coffee, lattes, teas and made by hand bakery. Their rose pistachio croissant is the best I've had in a while. Check them out on IG @firstbloomcoffee Ikigai Artifacts, a staple in the creative community in Oceanside is sadly closing their doors. As a business owner here, it can be tough being in retail and being an independent shop. Sato has done so much for the creative community to give a platform for other artists, vendors, and musicians. Right now his last event will be in August. If you want to help support Ikigai is selling a lot o the merchandise, paintings, ear plugs, etc. at discount to clear out the inventory.

On this episode we bring on Margaret Chiaro, Margaret Alexis Chiaro was born in York, Pennsylvania. She attained a cum laude BFA from the University of Arizona and received her MFA from the New York Academy of Art.   She currently resides in Oceanside, CA and is a working artist and art instructor.   Margaret uses figurative painting to invite the viewer to enter a unique world or moment.  Spending hundreds of hours on a single piece, painting everything by hand in traditional techniques, she obsessively renders her subjects, caught in moments when they are open and expressive.  Through her chosen genre, Magical Realism, she fuses reality with imagination to create a visceral new “world” for the subject to dwell in and the viewer to observe. She shares her story, insights into art, creativity, productive feedback, handling criticism, creative tips and more!

On this episode we are talking about your alter ego and who you represent could help you get to the next level in your creative quest. Black Mamba, Sasha Fierce (Beyonce), The Rock, Adele. These names are synonymous with various attributes, qualities, demeanor, strengths, and resilience. And what you believe to be true has incredible effects on your mind and your body. The Batman Effect refers to the finding that children perform better on a challenging task if they pretend to be someone else, such as Batman, who would be good at the task. One of my favorite movies that I refer to often is The Dark Knight rises, the villain Bane talks to Federal agents before he proceeds to kill them, telling them know one knew who he was before he put on the mask. We put on our personas everyday when we wake up ready to show up in the world. If you had an alter ego who would it be? How would that persona show up? What are the morals, values, etc. that your alter ego would have? What would it represent? What are your non-negotiables in your alter ego's life? Did you consider that how we perceive ourselves internally has such a profound experience on our outer expression. And to add this to the mix there odds are you have already used your alter ego in someway in your life-through tough times as well as times you didn't think you were enough, but you showed up.

This throwback episode, from a topic sent to me from a listener. We talk about the Dream Deferred, the cost of not going after the things you were put here on this planet to do. Many times we fall into the delusion of feeling like we always have tomorrow. There's someone that's waiting for the right words to hear, the music to feel, the art to see and experience. They are waiting on you to become who you need to be. If you don't pursue your dreams in some form or fashion, there is a price to pay. Could right now be the day that you say that's it-I will express the creative power that's inside me to be a benefit to my family, to society, to the world; and not only save someone else's life, you saved yours because you finally showed up.
